PhotoDirector is an all-in-one photo editor and manager
that gives you complete control over your digital photography workflow with robust
tools.

Intuitive interface: PhotoDirector has a similar workflow and interface to Lightroom. Primary adjustment
and management tools are in menus aligned to the screen edges.
Manual-adjustment sliders give you incremental control over every aspect
of your photo file, from standard color-correction, brightness, and
noise-removal tools to more perspective-altering adjustments like lens
correction. Filtered management: Get as basic or as granular as you please
in organization. You can manage your photo gallery through tags and
labels, and you can sort by flags, color, edit status, and stacks. Performance: Version 5 takes advantage of 64-bit
processor-powered machines, which is critical for loading images at
higher resolutions, especially when entering Retina and 4K territory.

Unity is a cross-platform game creation system developed by Unity Technologies, including a game engine and integrated development environment (IDE). It is used to develop video games for web sites, desktop platforms, consoles, and mobile devices. First announced only for Mac OS, at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in 2005, it has since been extended to target more than fifteen platforms. It is now the default software development kit (SDK) for the Nintendo Wii U.

Unity UI: Flexible, faster, full visual control

Create at speed

The new UI system is leaps ahead of the old, it’s easy to build
what you want and do it quickly with little or no coding necessary. Get
all this out of the box:

Fast and flexible workflows

Low memory allocations and high performance

Easy multiplatform deployment

Unique animation capabilities

Fully optimized

With batching, texture atlasing and the new canvas component,
we’ve come up with the optimal solution to allow your UIs to execute
quickly on GPUs. Draw calls are kept low and performance remains high
across all supported Unity platforms and device resolutions.

Intuitive layout tools

Laying out and resizing elements is easy with the new Unity UI.
Design detailed layouts using the Rect Transform layout tools, and
automate grids of UI elements with our built-in components.

Flexible anchoring

Take advantage of simple visual tools to anchor UI elements.
The UI element maintains its anchored position regardless of changes to
parent size or screen resolution. Want to anchor different elements
relative to different positions on the canvas? No problem.

Smooth resizing

You can set UI elements to stretch along with the parent
rectangle, or to maintain fixed margins inside it. In addition, each
side of a UI element can be anchored individually, allowing you to set
up sophisticated layouts without scripting.

Get animated

Animation plays a key part in your new UI workflow for creating
dynamic layouts with slick transitions. Animate any part of your UI
layouts, from bouncing buttons to animated material properties for
detailed motion.

Blackmagic Design has released Fusion 7 limited edition for free.
It lacks some of advanced features like optical flow and the
stereoscopic 3D toolset, along with support for OpenFX plugins, but you
do get all of the keying, retiming and colour-management tools.
Network rendering is disabled, and output is limited to Ultra HD resolution, but it’s still a powerful piece of kit.Price of the commercial edition slashed
Like DaVinci Resolve, the full version of the software – now renamed
Fusion Studio – has itself been repriced at $995: a significant drop
from its original $2,495, and a fraction of the cost of Nuke, its
principal competitor.
In the past couple of years, Resolve has played a disruptive role in
the grading market, with many smaller studios electing to build
pipelines around the software instead of more expensive turnkey systems.
The parallels aren’t exact: although price is a common complaint for
freelancers, Nuke is a fraction of the cost of a Quantel or SGO system,
and The Foundry is taking steps to make it more accessible to students.
But still, making a powerful, movie-capable 3D compositing package
available for under $1,000 is bound to shake up the market – as is
making a version of that package available for free to students and
freelancers.
It will be fascinating to see where Blackmagic takes Fusion next – and how The Foundry responds.

clipped. These new parameters provide control for that clipping
processing including no clipping.
